About this resource
This quiz focuses on vocabulary development for high school students, specifically targeting academic and literary terms that appear in grade 9-10 English curricula. The assessment evaluates students' understanding of ten sophisticated vocabulary words through contextual application in complete sentences. Students must demonstrate comprehension of words like "deemed," "inevitable," "contemporary," "abstract," and "superficial" by selecting the correct term to complete each sentence, often requiring them to consider proper word forms and grammatical usage. The vocabulary spans multiple semantic categories including judgment and evaluation terms, descriptive adjectives, and words related to art, society, and change. Success on this quiz requires students to understand nuanced word meanings, recognize appropriate contexts for academic vocabulary, and apply morphological knowledge to select the correct word forms within sentence structures. Created by Brandi Quintero, an English teacher in the United States who teaches grades 9 and 10. This vocabulary quiz serves as an excellent tool for reinforcing key terms from the CommonLit 360 curriculum's graffiti unit, supporting students' academic language development through targeted practice. Teachers can effectively use this assessment as a formative check after vocabulary instruction, a homework assignment to reinforce learning, or a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before diving deeper into unit texts. The quiz format allows for quick administration and immediate feedback, making it ideal for monitoring student progress with academic vocabulary acquisition. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards L.9-10.4 (determining word meanings) and L.9-10.6 (acquiring and using academic vocabulary), as students demonstrate their ability to use grade-appropriate general academic words accurately in context.
